I think that might be ‘One Day Like This’ by the awesome band ‘Elbow’

All their albums are great, a band well worth listening to.

I recently got married and my wife and I reserved a new home on a development. We originally reserved a fairly large 3 bedrrom place (due to be ready in december). All of our friends and family were very impressed as, for a first home, it is very nice. (we have been saving for years!)

However I went a little cold on the place…not sure why but anyhow decided to go down to the developer and pull out of the deal. The sales women didnt believe me a first but when she realised I was serious she asked what she could do to make me happier, at which point I saw a photo of a luxury, large, 3 storey 5 bedroom place (ready in 4 weeks)…i told her to swap the sale over to one of those and we stay!

She declined! So I left. However to my amazment 3 hours later I got a phone call from their sales director saying if we could exchange contracts before their half year profits were announced they would do it!

My wife and I really couldnt believe it but we have exchanged contracts and are getting our dream home as our first place. But here is the question…None of our friends or family know about the change, they all think we are buying the original place.

What would be a cool way of revealing the new house as a suprise?

It seems the market in New York and California have homes that only start at $700k (There are cheaper ones, but they’re awful). I mean, how much would it cost to just mortgage another 300k? If the base prices start at 700k, $1,000,000 don’t seem to be the creme of the crop anymore. Looks like you have to spend 2 or more now..

Well…another $300K would increase your payment by at least $1000 a month. That’s not chump change.

I see many condos for sale in areas like delray and boynton and boca raton, often for 20K or less; if the condo assoc. allows you to buy it and rent it, is this a good idea? Are they hard to rent? anybody done it and know how much rent you can get for a 1 bedrm? I’m willing to do upgrades, just curious if it’s worth it to buy now while cheap – I could do it with cash, don’t need a loan – or is it better to buy a home, add upgrades and flip it?

There is a massive over supply, thats why they are so cheap but thats also why they would be very hard to rent. Still, if the price is right you should be able to rent it. However, I would be very wary that the condo fee and other expenses don’t end up being actually more than the rent. With tons of these available, and apt buildings taking huge losses (due to all the vacancies) it sounds like this probably won’t make you that much money (maybe a small house would be a better way to go – they won’t be as cheap, but still very cheap and no condo fee).

I think this is doable to make a good return on your money, but don’t expect that much. Also you may be waiting a long time before you see the prices go up any.

I remember driving around once and saw a great deal of construction going on and a sign that read that they were building a new city, it was mostly a luxury home community but I was wondering how does one go about creating a new city or even merging or rearranging existing ones, what jurisdiction would that fall under like would the state need to approve it or maybe the local county that the new city is being built in,

THat is entirely within the hands of the states. Local governments have no hand in the planning of a new city. Only the states can approve it.

On 5 acres. Can it be done?

If you coul keep it for under $100 a square foot your home will cost
2.4 million dollars.
$200 a square foot will definitively be luxury.
That will set you back 4.8 million…

It can be listed for anything and if the seller is desperate than this is quite possible. The big problem (and the reason most investor hate most short sales) is that if the seller accepted a contract for $100,000 the bank could later say this is not enough and put all sorts of other stipulations on the sale, effectively bumping the price up to something more reasonable. At this time the buyer could accept the new price or walk, but if they walk they give up one or more months of work and everyone is worse off (though the bank isn’t much worse off and doesn’t particularly care).

Anyhow, yes its quite possible but that doesn’t mean the final sales price will actually be that number.

hello everyone..
my hubby and i bought a condo townhouse in a very trendy downtown area around 4 years ago.. i was pregnant at that time and the bulder was still building the place.. we waited for alomost 4 years for the new home.. and ended up having 2 kids in the meantime.. we were planning to live at the new home for 2 years with just one child.. but as the builder took a lot of time to make it.. we decide to extend our family.. now we have the place.. its a 700 sq ft condo with 2 bedroom and one bath.. its small to raise 2 energetic boys who needs bike and play yard.. so we decided to sell it after moving in and living for 3 months in it..we listed it in the last week of may and still there are not one offer.. its august now… i have lost hope. there is no problem with the place… the only issue is that as alot of people bought it and had to wait a long long time to get it built they ended up buying other properties and put this one up for sale. so there are curruntly 5 more units like ours that are on sale.. not one of them is selling.. coz of the market slow down.. i guess we chose a wrong time to sell it.. i want to take it off the market next month cozz my son is starting school in the area and i dont want him to switch half way… my realtor has worked really really hard to sell the place.. but we are in a contract with her till jan… im getting confused.. .should i just let it go like that or should i take it off the market.. if i take it off i wont put it back for sale for 2 years.. coz that was our initial plan.. can i warn my agent now that i want to take it off the market once my son is in school??

you can lease it out until the market in that area gets better. the others that are selling will start dumping prices for a sale. rent it out for a while
